White Pine Software Wins Contract for Providing Voice Over the Internet Solution to NASA NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 2000-- CU-SeeMe Web and MeetingPoint Conference Server Provide Critical Communications Solution for NASA, the International Space Station, and Related Educational Program White Pine Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: WPNE), a leading provider of multimedia conferencing applications for the Internet and intranets, today announced that its CU-SeeMe(R) Web and MeetingPoint(TM) products have been selected by AZ Technology, under a contract with NASA, to provide a `voice over the Internet' solution for a NASA's International Space Station (ISS) program. The project is tied into the Payload Operations Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. AZ Technology, also of Huntsville, will be developing the project's client interface using the CU-SeeMe Web software development kit (SDK). In addition to providing for communication between NASA sites and the Space Station, the project also does significant public outreach through an educational program which allows science and math students in middle schools and high schools around the United States to interface with NASA researchers. White Pine's technology is providing the voice conferencing capabilities that facilitate the interaction between students, teachers and researchers. "This project is particularly exciting because it engages students directly with NASA researchers and astronauts and increases their interest in math and science," said Bob Bradford, NASA engineer from Marshall Center. "The ability to communicate verbally over the Internet in real-time is critical to this program's success. White Pine's MeetingPoint and CU-SeeMe Web give us a solid and flexible solution that can scale with our needs." White Pine's technology is integrated into a custom web interface that is used as a central communications center for members of NASA and educational program participants. "The fact that AZ Technology and NASA has chosen White Pine as its solution of choice speaks to the strengths of both our technology and our responsiveness and reliability as a vendor," said Gary W. McGuire, director of sales for White Pine. "There are a number of companies that have voice over IP technologies, but White Pine is unique in that it offers a full suite of communications tools including real-time video and collaboration components that NASA could choose to integrate in the future."
